[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 131778, member: 1991"] I was thinking the same thing, smallworld. A label like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is just descriptive rather than diagnostic. A lot of kids have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as part of a more specific disorder, such as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in some form. The slight language delay is worth considering in the picture as well. Perhaps a more specific diagnosis could provide more support? I would be digging further. It's good he's getting some help now, but he may need more specific help. Is he doing better on the medications? Some kids do, it's like "Wow!" but other kids it seems to make little difference. My vote - go for the "Wow!", if something is helping then keep it. If it's not, then ask for further ideas. Get "The Explosive Child" - it helps. It can give you insight into how his mind is ticking, which in turn can help you deal with him better. If he DOES have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in some form (or similar) then this could explain a lot of things you may be trying to discipline out of him. Some things just don't respond to discipline - it's like punishing a blind child for bad handwriting and making mistakes when copying off the blackboard; or punishing a deaf child for inattention. Keep us posted, let us know how you're getting on. Marg [/QUOTE]
